Relate Titles

You can relate, or group, title records so any copy of a title in a group can fulfill a hold placed on another title in the group. This functionality is not visible to patrons. Destiny considers all copies of all titles in a related Titles group to be equal candidates for fulfilling a hold request.

To create a group of related titles:

1. Select Catalog > Update Titles > Relate Titles sub-tab.
2. Enter a name in the Enter new group name field, and then click Add.
3. To identify titles for the group, enter a title keyword in the Find Titles for <group name> field. Then click Go.
4. In the search results list, click Add next to the titles you want to add to the group. These titles then move to the Selected Titles section.

   Note: A title can only belong to one group.

5. Click Save.

After a group is set up, the related copies can fulfill pending holds. If so, their status becomes On Hold, and an alert message appears.

When Destiny reviews a hold during the Title Import process, it also checks whether the copy can fulfill a hold on a related title (if available).

If a title is in a group, related titles information appears on the Title Details page. Users with the appropriate access level permission, will see a Manage button, which opens the Edit <group name> page.
